THE AUTOBIPUPPETRY OF JEGHETTO

  • Theatre@37 37 South Main Street Perry, NY 14530 United States (map)

Jeghetto thinks Puppetry is Magic.

Learn about the life and stories of Jeghetto, the puppeteer, as he portrays his childhood through projections and puppetry. This one-man show is not to be missed!

Tarish Pipkins, aka Jeghetto, has been building puppets for over 20 years and is the Artistic Director of Jeghetto’s Entertainment LLC. He has produced and directed his shows in puppet theater, collaborates with other theaters on commission, and incorporates giant puppets in his Interactive Puppet Installations for the public to engage with. However, Jeghetto says “I’m particularly passionate about my stage production titled THE HIP HOP ERA OF 5P1N0K10 (Spinokio). It’s an afro-futuristic puppet show about an android who wants to be a real B-boy”. The show has experienced an impressive tour with appearances in Atlanta, NYC, Detroit, Chicago, NC, and New Orleans. The story will be published as a graphic novel and adapted into a short film funded by Heather Henson’s Handmade Puppet Dreams.

Jeghetto serves on the board of the Jim Henson Foundation and has worked on music videos, commercials, and television with celebrities such as Missy Elliott, Pharrell Williams, and Alec Baldwin.

Tickets available at Eventbrite.
